Surrounded by woods on the outskirts of Aarhus, Denmark, the new Moesgaard Museum (MOMU), designed by Danish firm, Henning Larsen Architects (HLA), offers a new perspective on the role of the museum as a public space.

The new saw-toothed Maritime Museum in the small Norwegian port town of Porsgrunn by Danish architects COBE and TRANSFORM manages to fit into its surroundings, by mirroring the shapes of the town's characteristic gabled roofs, while at the same time appearing contemporary with its abstract shape and aluminum facades.
